Lloyd Goal of the Year!! WTF???

"It's arguable that any of us might have kicked the Lloyd goal, yet who other than the most gifted athletes can kick banana goals from 50 (Motlop)"

Glad to see Mike Sheehan agreeing with me in the Herald Sun today.
And the thing is you can see Motlop meant what he did off a couple steps
 
I wonder what any rugby league fans thought when they saw that it got goal of the year. That happens after every tackle in their game doesn't it?

Disgraceful decision in my opinion.
 
got to say, it most definetely wasnt the goal of the year

just a unique, smart goal that shouldnt of been considered for goal of the year

Unique? didnt Riewoldt do something similar last year or the year before? Don't recall that one getting anywhere near as much publicity.
 
I don't think Lloyds had a case. It was clever, deserved a second look but not goal of the week, nevermind goal of the year.

Didak would have had it in the bag if he hit that bicylce, that was ridiculous, point of the decade for sure...

Motlop was a clear winner for me though. That kick was about as close to impossible as you can get. I can guarentee that I could go out in a park and spend the entire day trying to replicate it and not. Not just that it was from 50 but to kick the ball in one direction and have it go the other is basically impossible when it comes to physics. There aren't more than 5 players who I have seen play the game that could kick that goal.

You sum it up Perfectly! Motlops was pure Skill! Lloyds well a 2 year old could do it hell a 100 year old could as well!
 
All bias aside..... Motlop should have won. It was a beauty and physically is a near impossiblity to replicate. I still look at that goal and try to work out how it went through from that position.

I bet every single one of us could kick a goal like the Lloyd one if we tried 2 or 3 times. Didaks scissor kick point would have won if it had gone through.
 
Most overrated goal I've ever seen.

Any fat bastard on this site could do it!

rugby league players do exactly what lloyd did hundreds of times every year
it's a disgrace that he won goal of the year and is simply a weak, gutless decision by the judges to avoid having to actually make a decision between all the genuine GOTY contenders....absolutely fecking pathetic and makes a mockery of the award, turning it into an Almost Football Legends-type novelty contest....
this is just not something that should spawn such fury in me, it should celebrate the truly outstanding individual and team goal efforts, of which as indicated by BF posters there have been many
 
but to kick the ball in one direction and have it go the other is basically impossible when it comes to physics.

You've obviously never seen Jude Bolton kick for goal. He can aim the ball between the goals posts, and have it swing 30 metres away from the intended target. Amazing stuff!
 
no doubt the worst goal of the year ever

but its not such a big deal is it lol

no one ****ing cares who gets the MANTLE

its the fact they happened and we have videos/memories of them

AwJeez,NotThisShitAgain!.jpg
 
That is the most over rated goals EVER !!

Any person can do it. I know i could do that with my eyes closed or even with one foot. :eek:

Yup, any schmuck off the street would be able to do that. Not to mention that it is technically incorrect disposal and should have been a free.

Yze's, Motlop's and Headland's on the other hand... brilliant goals.
 
What is more concerning is why nothing was said about it publicly, the fact that it was awarded for a kookie kick meant it absolutely should have gone to waite.....

It was an essendon / lloyd gimme and just highlights his status.

Look forward to Aisake and Setanta lining up him ......he will be packing it.
 
Its the commentators i reckon..and the judges must listen with the audio turned right up.

.
here's lloyd with the commentators foaming at the gob

here's another one...but i dont think it even made it to a list for GOTY..."a remarkable thought process"...lol

Its just an argy bargy scramble and a quick hack with the foot like they're in the park.

Cant blame the players for being happy they kicked a goal...its all about the commentators.
 
Dermie got it right. It was clever, but that's about it. Was opportunistic but didn't involve the extreme individual brilliance of many of the other goals. Not the right decision, but not Lloyd's fault and not a huge deal IMO.
 
Maybe they should also add a 'Classic Commentary Competition' to go with the Goal of the Year and Mark of the Year awards, with the prize to the first correct entry (via SMS) open in each state/territory, with the winner to be announced at half-time on Seven's coverage of the 2008 AFL Grand Final.
